House Stenographer Explains Meltdown

(NEWSER) – Blame the Holy Spirit: The House stenographer who was dragged out of the chamber last night after an outburst about God and the Freemasons has explained what happened—kind of. Politico reports that Dianne Foster Reidy told Fox News, "For the past two and a half weeks, the Holy Spirit has been waking me up in the middle of the night and preparing me (through my reluctance and doubt) to deliver a message in the House Chamber. That is what I did last night." According to theNew York Post, her husband also chimed in, saying he's "proud" of his wife. She's "a sweet, level-headed, wonderful woman of God."
